There is a middle ground, generate the static site content yourself and then there are plenty of providers who will host your static content for free and even let you use your own domain name. Although I'm not sure why I'm telling

It'll probably need to be a generational thing to overcome Google's tentacles. My parents are stuck on their ISP's email, I was stuck on GMail (but fighting to get out). Anyone I warn about Google's lockout horror storie

Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are slowly getting us there, even though Apple fights tooth and nail at every step of the way. I attended an event that had mobile food ordering and they actually promoted "No need to download an app. Just or

The wildcards are fantastic. I got some spam the other week, emailed the company that passed on my address (they didn't even think to remove their website name from the address) and ask for them to remove all my personal information an

Limit their outgoing connections until they provide a CC number. Most software can be initially tested without needing to connect to the wider internet. Throw in plenty of /examples directories for the different applications you offer.

I suspect it will be like Google is doing now, once they have enough market share or don't need whatever they're getting out of their end (eg. stress testing their VPS offering) expect the limits to come in.

I guess I'm also worried about an SSH zero day hitting that I could avoid if I firewall filter the source IPs. I offer other services on the public internet so a zero day could hit them but I don't have a choice in those cases (eg

I'm keen to see where this goes as we move to IPv6 only services. The claim now is IPv6 is too large to scan but maybe they're not bothering because most IPv6 servers also listen on IPv4. Once they move to IPv6 only (after I need

As an individual your reports will likely be ignored, however if you do want to report consider contributing to a service like AbuseIPDB. It probably doesn't do much either but at least it feels like I'm doing my part to report ab

A friend of mine was telling me how he spun up a consultancy and made enough to retire off the back of Y2K. Must be time to spin up one for Y2K38 and make bank again.
